Other Side (R.I.P.)

Lyrics

[Chorus: V-Dog & William Brown] I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) [Verse 1: V-Dog] What is this world comin' to? All my homies droppin' like flies, look in his eyes He was just a young player on the rise But now he gone, mane, taken to a better place I know that's messed up, but there's someone that we all gotta face 'Cause in this game of life, it only becomes off what you makin' But number one, you gotta be real, them players are never fakin' Up off of the top, up off of my hand, onto the ground I cope I wish my roadie was here so we can get wicked and kick it some more I'm out the door, you know I'm 'bout to lose my mind 'Cause every other month or week another soldier's dyin' And now I'm tryna do better, tryna maintain my life No more stayin' out of the hour, tryna stop shootin' dice For most of my life, I had to live it under pressure Goin' out to club and seein' bodies leavin' on the stretcher Livin' in housin' complexes where people live in fear Now let me ask you something; what makes you think I'm happy here? [Chorus: V-Dog & William Brown] I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) [Verse 2: V-Dog] This song ain't 'bout no gettin' buck, this song ain't 'bout none to smoke or drink This song about the needs to start to use your mind to think You goin' on one-on-ones, guess what? You gettin' swabbed like that Now you lost a fight and now your hard, now you wanna go get your Gat Mane, that's how it is today, I swear it ain't like it used to be Many youngsters thinkin' they grown talkin' back to their parents, G Pickin' up bad habits up from here and there You livin' in the ghetto so is in the air, I feel ya I'm losin' my homies, mane, I swear they fallin' like the rain And everybody out here listenin', I know y'all feel my pain Who can I run to when I'm hungry, need some to eat? Can't run to my daddy 'cause he like them zombies, roamin' them streets Mane, I hope I make it out, hope I see a brighter day Mane, I wish there was somethin' that I could do or somethin' that I can say All I can say is hold your head up, player, let's ride And all my homies that's gone; I see you on the other side [Chorus: V-Dog & William Brown] I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) [Verse 3: V-Dog] Im tired of goin' to funeral homes, tired of seein' these caskets drop Thinkin' to myself and thinkin' to you, will all this madness stop? My best friend Barlow was young and on the wrong track Now is gonna take alotta jail time to bring him back Livin' in the ghetto, mane, is hard but this is where I stay Mane, it's messed up when them parents can't let their kids come out and play And all you youngsters screamin' that's easy to become a crook Well, let's see how easy it is if you stay in school and get in them books But Lord tell me, so confused, what can I do? Livin' in the ghetto plus my pockets achin' too Doin' everything I can, tryna get a J-O-B Every day I call, they sayin' they ain't got no work for me Mane, that got me stressed out, got me lookin' out my door Every time I step out; gettin' harassed by the 5-0 Throw me on the car like this some kind of game, makin' fun of my name I just want all my homies out here to feel my pain [Chorus: V-Dog & William Brown] I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, other side) I hope I see my homies on the other side (Other side, the other side) [Outro: William Brown] Where-where? Hope I see, homies on, other side, I miss them so Hope I see, homies on, other side, I miss them so Ohh-woah-ohh Hope I see, homies on the other side, I miss them so Ohh-wooh-ohh, yeah, yeah Hope I see, homies on, other side, I miss them so Whoa-ohh-ohh Hope I see, homies on, other side, I miss them so Ohh-wooh-ohh Hope I see Homies, homies, homies
